Will Mr. Newsham Go to Washington?
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 04.24.08 | 10:49 AM ET
Perhaps. Brad Newsham, author of the travel memoir Take Me With You, announced via email that he’s collecting signatures to become a write-in candidate to represent California’s 9th District, now represented by Democrat (and National Passport Month supporter) Barbara Lee. Newsham explained that he disagrees with her on only one issue, “but it’s a fundamental issue for me, and perhaps for you: the impeachment of Bush and Cheney. For me, this issue is so important that it eclipses all others.” Newsham, pictured here running naked on a Hawaiian beach, has been rallying for the pair’s impeachment.

As a resident of CD 9 I feel Barbara Lee has done an outstanding job bringing the progressive democratic agenda to Congress’ forefront. Also note Ms. Lee has been calling for the impeachment of Bush and Cheney and all accountability of the corruption in our current administration. I will continue to support Ms Lee in the primary and general election as she the type of independent and thoughtful leader our community needs to rally behind!
